Message from the President

Welcome to Bunker Hill Community College. Our college is friendly, affordable and close to home. It is also one of the largest and most diverse institutions of higher education in Massachusetts. We enroll more than 7,800 students who attend classes on two campuses in Charlestown and Chelsea or at one of five neighborhood satellites - Cambridge, Chinatown, Revere, Somerville and the South End. Our students come from all over the world - more than 94 different countries - and from all over the Boston area. They also come from every possible background. Sixty percent of BHCC students are people of color and more than half are women. For many students, Bunker Hills degree and certificate programs in the health care professions, business, computers or culinary arts are the roads to success. Others see BHCC as a good way to begin their careers in higher education. Bunker Hill Community College graduates seeking advanced degrees have transferred to four-year institutions such as UMass, Suffolk, Yale, Tufts, MIT, Wellesley and many other colleges and universities. Whether you choose to earn a certificate, an associate degree, or to spend some quality leisure time at non-credit workshops such as personal financial planning, property management, computer skills or wellness programs, we at Bunker Hill understand that learning is the key to a better life. We also understand that education includes experiences beyond the classroom, so we offer clubs and organizations for every interest. Naturally, this includes athletics. Bunker Hill offers sports-minded students a chance to shine. Both our womens and mens basketball teams, for example, obtained 8th place national rankings this past year. Our baseball and soccer teams are also highly competitive. Several of our sports programs are part of the NJCAA, the NCAA for two-year colleges. Bunker Hills friendly atmosphere, caring faculty and wide range of student services make this a real community, and we hope youll become part of it. We practice an open-door admissions policy and our tuition and fees are affordable just $100 per credit hour. This works out to less than $2,500 per academic year for full-time students. In fact, BHCC offers the lowest comprehensive tuition and fees in the Commonwealth. We also offer a wide range of financial aid programs to help you pay for your education. Our faculty and staff join me in welcoming you to Bunker Hill Community College. Were looking forward to your becoming part of our community.

Enrollment Services
Enrollment Services
Admission Bunker Hill Community College is committed to an open admission policy. This policy offers the opportunity to enroll to those who have earned a high school diploma, a GED, or an associates degree or higher, and who express a desire to pursue a college education. To enroll in a degree or certificate program, students must apply for admission and be accepted to the College. Students choosing this option are referred to as degree-seeking students. Students who do not choose this option are referred to as non-degree seeking students. Applicants are expected to be able to perform college-level work and to conduct themselves in a manner appropriate for college students. In cases where tests or other indicators suggest the contrary, the College reserves the right to deny admission. All documents submitted to the Enrollment Services Center become the property of Bunker Hill Community College and will not be returned to students. Ability to Benefit Policy Statement Beginning with the class of 2003, students who supply the College with documentation of successful completion of their high school course requirements for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, but who have not passed the MCAS test nor received a GED, may apply for admission to a BHCC degree-granting program (matriculation) through the Ability to Benefit policy, as follows: Upon submitting an application for admission, applicants will be required to take an Ability to Benefit assessment test. Applicants achieving the minimum score as established by the US Department of Education (for Accuplacer - Reading: 55; Sentence Skills: 60; Math: 34) will be admitted to BHCC and will be permitted to matriculate and apply for financial aid. Students enrolled in an ESL or Bilingual program at the time of graduation may take the ESL CELSA test for Ability to Benefit. Students passing the CELSA are eligible to matriculate, apply for financial aid, and enroll in ESL classes. Degree- and Certificate-seeking Students All students admitted to degree or certificate programs must take computerized placement tests (CPTs) in English, reading, and mathematics, or the ESL placement tests if English is their second language. The tests determine the levels at which students will begin their study. Based upon test results, the College may prescribe developmental or ESL courses, or limit a students enrollment in an effort to enhance that students ability to succeed. Applicants to health careers and technical programs must comply with specific program entrance requirements and application deadlines. 2005 - 2006 College Catalog Home Schooling Policy Home schooled students, without a high school diploma or GED, are eligible to apply for admission to a degree or certificate program provided they have successfully completed an approved home school program in accordance with Massachusetts General Laws or the laws of their home state. If a home schooled student has not completed an approved home school program, then the student will not be eligible to enroll in a degree or certificate program until he/she has taken and passed an Ability to Benefit assessment test. Home schooled students who wish to apply for admission to a degree or certificate program must submit with their admissions application evidence that their home school program was approved by their school districts superintendent or school committee. Additionally, if the home schooled student is under the age of compulsory attendance, which is sixteen (16) years old in Massachusetts, a letter from the students school districts superintendent or school committee is required stating that the student is not considered truant and would not be required to attend further schooling or continue to be home schooled if the student has completed his/her home school program before the age of sixteen (16). The College reserves the right to limit or deny enrollment of any student under the age of sixteen (16) in a course or program based on a case-by-case consideration of a variety of factors, including but not limited to: the students maturity, life experience, placement test scores, prior education, course content, instructional methodology, and potential risks associated with participation in a particular course or program. Non-Degree Students To enroll in classes as a non-degree student, students should refer to the appropriate master schedule of courses or call the Enrollment Services Center for registration dates. All students who wish to register for a math or English course or a course with a math, English or reading prerequisite, must take the computerized placement tests (CPTs) prior to registration. All students who wish to register for an ESL course must take the ESL placement test prior to registration. The tests determine the levels at which students begin their studies. Re-admission of Degree- and Certificate-seeking Students Students who are re-admitted after an absence of two or more consecutive semesters must follow the catalog and curriculum year requirements for their degrees or certificate programs in effect at the beginning of the semester of their re-enrollment. Students applying for re-admission to nursing and allied health degree or certificate programs must meet with the appropriate academic dean, chairperson, or program 13

director prior to re-admission. Students who wish to be readmitted to the College may do so without submitting an application if they re-apply within two semesters of the date of withdrawal. However, students who meet any of the following conditions must submit a new application form and a copy of their high school diploma or GED certificate for re-admission to the College: 1. A degree-seeking (matriculated) student who has officially withdrawn from the College and has been away from the College for two consecutive semesters. 2. A degree-seeking (matriculated) student who has stopped attending for two consecutive semesters. 3. A degree-seeking (matriculated) student who has been academically suspended from the College. 4. A degree-seeking (matriculated) student who has graduated from a degree or certificate program. accept a maximum of 45 transfer credits toward the Bunker Hill Community College associates degree and 75% of the total number of credits required for certificate programs.
Mid-Year Admission Bunker Hill Community College admits students to most programs at mid-year, on a space-available basis. Students can begin courses in the spring semester; however, some courses listed in the catalog may not be available to mid-year entrants. The College cannot assure the availability of specific courses. Many programs contain courses that have prerequisites. Because prerequisites are not waived for students admitted at mid-year, the number of semesters necessary to complete degree requirements may increase. Transfer Applicants from Other Institutions Students who have attended another college may apply for transfer credit. After acceptance to the College, students must make sure that official transcripts from all colleges attended are sent directly to the Admissions and Transfer Counseling Office. The College may award credit for courses completed successfully at other colleges if the courses are comparable to those offered at Bunker Hill Community College. Credits earned at colleges that follow a quarter system are converted to semester-hour equivalents, resulting in an adjustment to the number of credits transferred. The College awards transfer credit when the following requirements are met: (1) a grade of C or better is earned from a regionally accredited college or university; and (2) the course(s) are comparable to those offered at BHCC. Students holding an academic degree from another regionally accredited institution may receive credit for the liberal arts requirements in career programs, but must complete all other program requirements in the Bunker Hill Community College curriculum. A grade of P may be accepted as general elective credit only if the student can demonstrate that the P grade is equivalent to a grade of C or higher. The College will 14

International applicants may obtain more detailed information concerning the admission process by contacting the International Center at 617-228-2460 or via e-mail at international@bhcc.mass.edu. Financial aid is not available to international students. Lack of sufficient funds may result in an interruption in enrollment at the College that will jeopardize the students eligibility to remain in the U.S. on a student visa. Once admitted, international students receive orientation and other support services through the International Center. See page 47 for more information. 2005 - 2006 College Catalog

The schedule of refunds for tuition and general College fees outlined in this catalog applies only when proper withdrawal or class drop procedures, as established by the Enrollment Services Center, are followed. Application fees are non-refundable. Lack of attendance or course abandonment does not constitute a drop or withdrawal. Through the schedule adjustment (add/drop) period, 100% of tuition and fees are refunded. After the schedule adjustment (add/drop) period, no tuition or fees are refunded. Please note that Telecourses, Center for Self-Directed Learning, and Home Study/External Studies courses have a five-day schedule adjustment period, beginning on the date of registration.

Bunker Hill Community College participates in a wide variety of federal, state, and private financial aid programs. Students must be aware that all institutions, including Bunker Hill Community College, are subject to changes in funding allocations from both the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the United States Department of Education.
General Eligibility Requirements In order to be eligible for financial aid, applicants must be United States citizens or eligible non-citizens, possess valid social security numbers, be enrolled in or accepted for enrollment in an eligible academic program and working toward a degree or certificate. Additionally, applicants must maintain satisfactory academic progress (see Satisfactory Academic Progress listed under Academic Policies and Procedures), comply with Federal Selective Service Law, not be in default on any educational loans, or owe a refund on any federal grants or loans to any institution. Students who have previously obtained a bachelors degree at any U.S. or foreign institution are not eligible for financial aid grants, but may be eligible for loans. It is important to know that students may lose their financial aid eligibility if they attempted 150% of the credits needed for a certificate or a degree.
The College strongly advises students to consult with the Financial Aid Office if they are contemplating a change in enrollment status.
Unofficial Withdrawals Per federal regulations, students that stop attending all of their classes without formally withdrawing from the College will be identified and may lose a percentage or their entire financial aid award for that semester. If a student fails all of their attempted credits for a semester, the federal regulations require that the College assume they stopped attending the College. If the Financial Aid Office cannot obtain proof that the student completed at least 60% of the semester, the Financial Aid Office will then recalculate the students financial aid award, which may result in the student owing a balance to the College. Financial Aid Application Process Financial Aid applications must be completed annually. In order to apply for financial aid, students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and supply all requested documentation in accordance with the priority deadlines. 26 2005 - 2006 College Catalog

Bunker Hill Community College will return any funds necessary to Title IV based upon the calculation. Based upon the return of Title IV Funds calculation, students are responsible to repay to the Title IV or state programs any funds that were disbursed directly to them and for which the student was determined to be ineligible. The procedures and policies listed above supersede those published previously and are subject to change. Please contact the Financial Aid Office if you have any questions about the policy.
Federal Financial Aid Refund Policy The calculation of the return of Title IV Funds is determined by the date that the student withdraws, which is:
The date the student began Bunker Hill Community Colleges withdrawal process, or; The date the student officially notified the institution of intent to withdraw, or; The midpoint of the enrollment period for a student who leaves without notifying the institution (an unofficial withdrawal), or; The students last date of attendance at a documented academically related activity. Title IV aid and all other aid is earned during the time a student is attending Bunker Hill Community College. The percentage of aid earned, up to a maximum of 60%, is determined by dividing the number of days a student was enrolled by the number of days in the semester. Return of Title IV funds is no longer necessary beyond that point. If the student withdraws from all courses after 60% of the semester is completed, Title IV aid is viewed as 100% earned. If a student withdraws before 60% of the semester is completed, however, the student may owe a portion of his or her financial aid, if the Financial Aid Office determines the student has received an amount larger than the earned amount. The term Title IV Funds includes the following programs: Federal Pell Grant. Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG). Federal Subsidized Family Federal Educational Loan (FFEL). Federal Unsubsidized Family Federal Education Loan (FFEL).

The chart that follows provides an overview of our current agreements. Contact the Transfer Counselor, Admissions and Transfer Counseling Office, Room B202, Charlestown Campus or call 617-228-2299 for assistance in planning for transfer and in interpreting transfer agreements, as well as for a complete description of guarantees, requirements, benefits, and limitations of the agreements.

It assists community college students to transfer to upper-division colleges with minimal loss of associate degree credit. The Board of Higher Education approved the current Compact, effective January 1990. Students are eligible for Transfer Compact status if they meet the following requirements: 2005 - 2006 College Catalog
Early Childhood Education Transfer Compact The statewide Early Childhood Education Transfer Compact enables students to transfer associate degree credit from Early Childhood Education programs to the same programs at specific four-year state colleges and the University of Massachusetts.

These actions include disruptive behavior; violence or the written threat of violence; the possession or use of controlled substances or alcohol on College property; possession or use of weapons, ammunition or fireworks on College property; gambling on College property; unauthorized mass action; hazing; removal or mutilation of library books; plagiarism; cheating; sexual, racial or ideological harassment; and damage to College property. If it is proven that a student in any course in which he or she is enrolled has knowingly cheated or plagiarized, this may result in a failing grade for an exam or assignment, withdrawal from the course, or a failing grade in the course. The student would also be subject to Disciplinary Proceedings as outlined in the Student Handbook for violation of the Student Code of Conduct. Complaints against students should be referred to the appropriate academic dean, for inappropriate behavior in the classroom, or to the Dean of Student Affairs, for inappropriate behavior on College property. If necessary, the Dean will convene a disciplinary hearing committee. The members of the hearing committee make a 2005 - 2006 College Catalog

Attendance
Attendance Because poor attendance generally results in poor grades, students must attend all regularly scheduled classes and laboratory sessions. Students having attendance difficulties should discuss this matter with their faculty members and advisors. Students who know they will be absent for three or more consecutive class sessions because of a family emergency or personal illness should report the extended absence to the Office of the Dean of Student Affairs. The Dean will notify the faculty of the absence. Upon returning to class, students are responsible for discussing with their faculty members the completion of all course requirements. If the faculty member and student find it impossible to complete all assigned work, the student may need to withdraw from their course. Students who attend no class meetings during the first four weeks of the semester will be withdrawn from the course and receive an NA (non-attendance) grade. The grade appears on the transcript and is counted toward credits attempted but is not computed in the grade point average. The NA grade designation is not used during the summer semester. Auditing a Course Students desiring to audit a course must obtain permission from the Registrar or the Assistant Registrar. Audit students must pay full tuition and fees. The audit request must be made at the time of registration. Change of Grades Students must direct questions regarding grades to the course instructor. The instructor will change final grades only if a clerical error exists. Students must submit a written request to the instructor for re-evaluation if they feel that an error exists. The final decision regarding grades rests with the professor/instructor. Students may initiate grade complaints no later than 30 calendar days following the last day of the instructional period for which the grade was granted. Refer to the Bunker Hill Community College Student Handbook for more information. Clinical Experience Responsibilities Students enrolled in programs that require clinical experience must adhere to all stated objectives and course competencies including those required for the clinical experience. Students are accountable for their behavior and demeanor during all clinical experiences and must conduct themselves in a manner that is in keeping with the professional conduct expected in their fields. The College reserves the right to suspend and/or remove students from the clinical experience whose behavior is considered inappropriate. Removal may adversely affect prospects for completing the requirements of these programs. Students so removed may appeal in writing to the Office of the Associate Dean of Academic and Student Affairs. Students participating in clinical experiences should refer to the Criminal 40
Offender Record Information (CORI) and the Sex Offender Registry Information (SORI) requirements listed on page 18 of this catalog.
Course Load Students who carry 12 or more credit hours in a fall or spring semester or six credit hours in a summer or mini-session are full-time students. Students must enroll in a minimum of 15 credit hours per semester in order to complete an associate degree program in two years. Students who wish to carry more than 18 credits during a fall or spring semester or 9 credits during a summer or mini-session must obtain written permission from the appropriate academic dean. Course Prerequisites Some courses require that students meet certain conditions prior to registering. These conditions are known as prerequisites. Prerequisites include completion of lower-level courses with a grade of C or higher, completion of Computerized Placement Tests (CPTs), or formal admission to a specific program of study. In order to count a course from another college or university as a prerequisite at BHCC, students must bring evidence of completion of that course at the time of registration. Deans List Students completing a minimum of 12 credit hours in courses graded A, B, or C with a grade point average of at least 3.00 are named to the Deans List, provided that no grade lower than C was earned in any course that semester. Grades lower than C include D, F, W , WA, NA and IP . For Deans List computation, P is not considered a letter grade. Only courses numbered 100 or higher are considered in determining eligibility for the Deans List. Dropping or Adding a Course Students may adjust their schedules either during the registration period or during the schedule adjustment period. After the schedule adjustment period, students may add only those courses offered through the Center for Self-Directed Learning or Home Studies courses. Refer to the Colleges course schedule booklet for published deadlines. Final Examination Schedule Final examinations take place during the last week of the semester. Final examination make-up time is scheduled for the last day of final exam week. Students who are scheduled for two final examinations at the same time, or who have more than two exams scheduled in one day, may request that they be allowed to take one of those exams during the final examination make-up time. Students who miss final examinations must notify the academic dean of their program area immediately, stating the reason. The individual faculty member makes the decision regarding makeup of final exams. 2005 - 2006 College Catalog

Academic Standing The College considers students to be in good academic standing if they successfully complete 66% or more of the total number of credits attempted with a cumulative grade point average of 2.00 or higher. Courses with a grade of IP , F, NA, W , or WA are not considered to be completed successfully. Satisfactory Academic Progress In order to continue at Bunker Hill Community College and/or receive financial aid, students must make satisfactory progress toward a degree or certificate. The College considers students to be achieving satisfactory academic progress if they complete 66% or more of the total number of credits attempted and meet
the following minimum cumulative grade point average:
CREDITS ATTEMPTED CUMULATIVE GRADE POINT AVERAGE
Progress Reports At the seventh week of the semester, course instructors issue warning grades to all students doing minimal or failing work. Students who receive such warnings should discuss their academic progress with the appropriate instructor and their advisor. Program Changes Students wishing to change from one program of study to another should consult with their advisors. Students then must complete a change of program form, available in the Enrollment Services Center. The Enrollment Services Center issues final approval for all program changes. A program change may increase the time needed for students to complete program requirements for graduation. Students who receive financial aid should consult with the Financial Aid Office regarding the fiscal implications of program changes. Students may not register for the new program until the change of program form is processed. When a program change is approved, the student must meet the degree requirements of the catalog in effect at the time of the change. Repeating a Course Students may repeat only courses in which they earn a grade of D, F, W , WA, or NA. The grade earned in the final attempt automatically becomes the official grade for purposes of calculating grade point average and for determining eligibility for 42

Academic Probation The College places those students on academic probation who fail to meet the criterion of satisfactory academic progress. Students placed on academic probation may enroll in no more than 10 credits each semester while on probation, unless a TASC advisor grants permission to register for 12 credits.
Students who fail to attain both the required cumulative GPA and the percentage of total credits attempted remain on academic probation even though they attain the appropriate semester G.P.A. and complete 66% of credits attempted in the probationary semester. Students who remain on academic probation status for three consecutive semesters are placed on academic suspension. The College mandates academic support for students on academic probation. Students must meet with a counselor or a designated academic advisor to discuss the factors interfering with academic progress, to determine appropriate course selections for the next semester, and to develop an individual plan for academic success.
Course and College Withdrawal

Appeals Process Students placed on academic probation or suspension from the College for unsatisfactory academic progress have the right to appeal to have the sanction lifted. For students on academic probation, the College grants appeals based on computational error. For students placed on suspension, the College grants appeals based on documented extraordinary personal circumstance. The decision of the Academic Appeals Committee is final. Withdrawal from a Course Students may withdraw from a course only during the semester in which they are registered for the course and only by the deadline specified for each semester. The College does not process course withdrawals after the withdrawal deadline date specified for each semester. The College issues no refunds for students who withdraw from a course. To withdraw from a course, students must complete and submit the appropriate course withdrawal forms, which are available at the Enrollment Services Center. After students officially withdraw, their transcripts show grades of W . The College designates course withdrawals as uncompleted courses, which may adversely affect academic standing and financial aid eligibility. Failure to attend or ceasing to attend classes does not constitute withdrawal from the course and results in a grade of F or NA for the course (see Satisfactory Academic Progress). Academic Suspension The College suspends students from attending the College if either of the following circumstances occurs during any probationary semester:
Students fail to achieve a semester grade point average of 1.79 for between 12 and 30 credits attempted or 2.00 for more than 30 credits attempted; Students fail to complete a minimum of 66% of the total number of credits attempted. The College also suspends students from attending the College who have remained on academic probation for three consecutive semesters (see Academic Probation). Following a minimum leave of one semester, the College may consider for re-admission students on academic suspension who provide the College with evidence of increased potential for academic success. Students must complete an application for re-admission secured through the Enrollment Services Center. Re-admission is contingent upon a review of the application and space availability. Students are placed on academic probation for the semester in which they are re-admitted (see Academic Probation).
Withdrawal from the College Students may withdraw from the College only during the semester in which they are registered. Withdrawals are not processed retroactively, that is, after the semester in which the student was enrolled. Students who withdraw from the College are not entitled to a refund. To withdraw from the College, students must complete a withdrawal form, available at the Enrollment Services Center, complete all the withdrawal steps, and submit the completed form to the Enrollment Services Center. Students who withdraw from the College receive W grades on their transcripts for all courses for the semester withdrawn. Failure to attend or ceasing to attend a class or classes does not constitute official withdrawal from the College and results in grades of F or NA for the course or courses. Failure to formally withdraw may affect students academic standing and eligibility to receive financial aid (see Satisfactory Academic Progress). Students desiring to be re-admitted to the College may do so without submitting an application, if they reapply within two consecutive semesters of the date of withdrawal. 43

A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an educational record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibility. The right of Complaint, to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by Bunker Hill Community College to comply with the requirements of FERPA. The name and address of the office that administers FERPA is: Family Policy Compliance Office U.S. Department of Education 600 Independence Avenue, SW Washington, DC 20202-4605 Sexual harassment is a form of sex discrimination. It occurs in a variety of situations which share a common element: the inappropriate introduction of sexual activities or comments into the work or learning environment. Often, sexual harassment involves relationships of unequal power and contains elements of coercion, as when compliance with requests for sexual favors becomes a criterion for granting work, study, or grading benefits. However, sexual harassment may also involve relationships among equals, as when repeated sexual advances or demeaning verbal behaviors have a harmful effect on a persons ability to study or work in the academic setting. For general purposes, sexual harassment may be described as unwelcome advances, requests for sexual favors, and other physical conduct and expressive behavior of a sexual nature when: (1) submission to such conduct is made either explicitly or implicitly a term or condition of an individuals employment or education; (2) submission to or rejection of such conduct by an individual is used as the basis for academic or employment decisions affecting that individual; or (3) such conduct has the purpose or effect of substantially interfering with an individuals academic or professional performance and creating an intimidating, hostile, or demeaning employment or educational environment. A student, an employee, or any other person in the College who is found to have engaged in sexual harassment is subject to discipline up to and including termination of employment or expulsion from the College. When a student, an employee, or any other person in the College believes s/he has been the subject of sexual harassment, the grievance process is a mechanism for redress. All grievants must contact the Colleges Affirmative Action Officer before proceeding under the Affirmative Action Policys Grievance and Hearing Procedure. Reasonable efforts are made to maintain confidentiality during the grievance process. Sexual harassment is forbidden by both federal and state regulations. In keeping with these regulations, a concerted effort will be made to protect employees, students, and others from sexual harassment as defined. For the full text of the Colleges policy concerning sexual harassment, refer to the Bunker Hill Community College Student Handbook.
Directory Information Bunker Hill Community College designated the following items as directory information: student name, academic program, semesters of attendance, current enrollment status, Deans List, degrees or certificates awarded, and dates of graduation. The College may release directory information to a third party requesting such student information without first obtaining the students consent. A student has the right to refuse to permit the College to release directory information. In order to facilitate this, a student must request in writing that a privacy code be placed on his/her directory information through the Enrollment Services Center. If a privacy code is placed on a students record, no directory information will be released in College publications or to third parties, excluding cases in which the Solomon Amendment or lawful subpoenas require the College to release such information by law. Notwithstanding the Colleges definition of directory information, the Department of Defense, pursuant to the Omnibus Consolidated Appropriations Act of 1997, identifies the following additional student information as directory information for Department of Defense purposes: students address, age, and level of education, the information is available and accessible from student records. Nonconsensual release of directory information may be released to the Department of Defense in accordance with the Solomon Amendment.

Programs of Study
Programs of Study
Bunker Hill Community College offers numerous programs of study that lead to the following degrees and certificates: Associate in Arts (A.A.) degrees, Associate in Science (A.S.) degrees, and certificates. All programs of study include courses from three required areas: general education requirements, career and/or liberal arts electives, and program requirements. These required areas are explained on the following pages. Associate in Arts (A.A.) Degree concentrations prepare students to transfer smoothly to four-year colleges and universities. Extreme care was taken in fashioning these transfer-focused degrees. Nonetheless, the College advises students to comply with the following recommendations: In order to make the wisest choice of Bunker Hill Community College courses, consult the institution to which you wish to transfer. In order to facilitate transfer to the four-year institution, work with the BHCC transfer counselor and your academic advisor in planning your BHCC curriculum. Associate in Science (A.S.) Degree programs prepare students with the knowledge and skills necessary to enter the workforce at the conclusion of the degree. In addition to preparing students for employment, many Associate in Science Degree programs transfer to four-year colleges and universities. To assure smooth transfer to four-year programs, consult the institution to which you wish to transfer. Students will find current transfer agreements listed on page 34 of this catalog. Certificate programs provide students with skill training and job upgrade opportunities. See page 53 for a directory of all academic programs, organized by degree. Refer to the page number listed for your program of interest. Those credits must include: 1. ENG111 and ENG112 (6 credits) to fulfill General Education Requirement 1, and 2. 16 additional credits to fulfill General Education Requirements 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. Students should consult their individual programs of study for General Education course requirements specific to their major. Some General Education requirements are met by Concentration Courses. In this instance, an asterisk next to the menu number refers to a footnote below the grid that states: This requirement is satisfied by Concentration Courses. Refer to the fold-out section at the back of this publication for General Education Requirements and Elective Courses.
Student Learning Outcomes Assessment The Student Learning Outcomes Assessment Program (SLOAP) is Bunker Hill Community Colleges comprehensive plan to ensure relevant curriculum and quality teaching and learning in all of its academic and career programs. SLOAP was designed and implemented by the full-time faculty during the 2003-2004 academic year and is designed to be a continuous and ongoing assessment of what students should know and be able to do as a result of enrolling in any College program or course.
A major belief of SLOAP is that writing is central to learning. Writing facilitates deep and efficient understanding of course content and develops the advanced critical thinking skills necessary for effective problem solving. Writing across the disciplines also helps students learn to communicate effectively, using the conventions appropriate to each discipline. This combination of improved critical thinking and communication skills supports personal and professional success. In the pages that follow, each program has stated in its Program Overview its Mission and has outlined the Learning Outcomes acquired upon completion of the program. Students should review this material along with the program curriculum in order to determine their individual expectations for a course of study. Further information regarding the Student Learning Outcomes Assessment Program may be obtained from the Office of the Vice President of Academic and Student Affairs.
General Education Requirements Bunker Hill Community College is committed to the belief that all graduates should possess the skills and breadth of knowledge necessary to live full and productive lives. The general education portion of associate degree programs assists students to acquire knowledge and skills that enhance their major areas of concentration.
Students who receive A.A. or A.S. degrees must take a total of 22 credits of General Education.
